Urra returns to his native Philippines every other month—of the country’s 7,107 islands, he has visited more than 300 (and counting). He’ll send you to the secret spots that the big tour companies don’t even know exist, such as the untouched white sand beaches of Palawan or a colonial-era village where you can help fishermen pull in their nets. He’ll even have you kayaking with wild dolphins in aquamarine lagoons and visiting President Marcos’s ancestral home and mausoleum (minimum price per day for two people: $600).
